“Creativity always dies a quick death in rooms that house conference tables” is a quote from Bruce Herschensohn that appeared in the New York Times on April 2, 1975. Apparently Bruce never had the chance to witness this creative response from our newest sponsor, CyberINK Online. These skeletons might look dead, but their vibrant colors and gestures will bring life to your office, especially when I tell you that this is a prize pack featuring the following 3 items:

Colorful 18"x24" print

Comfy 4 finger coffee mug

Cushy mouse pad

Douglas [flustered]: We're just compiling the survey responses now, Sir. Data acquisition is complete on my end. Bradley is processing the data and sending it on to Debra who will complete the analysis and present best practices.

[Debra shuffles papers on the desk and flicks off Douglas secretively.]

Douglas: Very mature. You know, I'm tired of the irresponsibility of some people here.

Bradley [mockingly]: I'm Dougie,I'm tired of blah blah, waah, wah! All I do is collect surveys but then I act like I actually do something. [Straightening up and raising an eyebrow] If you're tired of us, just imagine how tired we are of you, Mr. Best Practices. What does that even mean? We sell cupcakes. CUPCAKES. I mean, why are we having board meetings? We have one store, and it's run by Uncle Phil here. [Gestures to the head of the table.]

Uncle Phil: You do kind of have your drawers in a bunch, Doug. How much data do we need on icing preference?

Doug [obviously flustered]: This is a business, we need to run it like a business.

Debra: Shove a cupcake in your hole, Dougie. You don't do anything but write up reports. I mean what the eff is Data Acquisition. You asked 20 people about German Chocolate cupcakes and they all said the same thing: German Chocolate cupcakes have coconut icing on them. I mean give it a rest. Bake a cupcake once in a while, you weirdo.

Doug [to Uncle Phil]: Sir, are you going to let her talk to me like that? That should be grounds for dismissal. I demand that you ask for her resignation.

Phil [shaking his head]: Doug, I'm not firing your sister.

Doug [standing up quickly]: I'm reporting this to HR.

Brad: Aunt Mary is at yoga, you'll have to wait until she gets back. [under his breath] Weirdo.

they are deciding who is the most creative...they are going to change the look of the conference table...and they all have such great ideas that they can't decide! oh no..maybe the conference table will have to go.

This is a meeting of upper management types - notice the one skelly at the end of the table. The head skelly has gathered his group to inform them of the spectacular salary increase they will give themselves this year. Notice the gestures from head skelly (why it's a great idea) and the other skellys clapping their hands (we agree)

The middle skeleton figure has just finish a weekly meeting purposing Fridays to be casual yet classy hat days, the rest of the meeting party cheers, for they all know hats look the best on a bony head.

of COURSE they're discussing the absence of Yellow and how it's freaky that she's always so damn happy! And then later they'll discuss the draft report that's been rejected by company Xpaulahaupt AT gmail DOT com

Well, of course they're discussing the values of calcium over phosphorus on their bottom line.Side note: I'm a skull maniac, being born on Halloween as I was; this set would be awesome for my home office!

They're discussing ways to boost staff morale, including upping calcium intake, installing skeleton-friendly gravestones in all the restrooms, and whether 13 or 666 ravns would be a better number for the office Halloween party.
